Email is no big deal, I used to have email with my own domain accounts, now that I changed registrar I decided 2 years ago to separate duty and I am using migadu of which I am satisfied.

I am installing mobile apps with accrescent, f-droid and aurora on grapheneos. There is a handful of apps I have never been able to install, because they are regionally limited and you have no control on regional accounts that aurora accounts use. I just live without them, no big deal. The service is usually provided by a web page anyway.

I am using an external cloud storage with wasabi as secondary backup site, I don't need any other cloud storage.

How about apps which only have the option of signing in with Google or some other social / 3rd party provider? Do you also not use other services like Microsoft's, Apple's, Facebook (Meta)'s? How do you in that case sign in?

Just started out building a micro-agency into software engineering and consulting. I left my 9-5 jobs in engineering and big-consulting to pursue my dream of building something myself. I love to code and build software and have always dreamed of bringing in change to the landscape around software engineering services.

https://shunyaek.se is my agency, "shunyaek"'s home-page. shunyaek refers to "shunya", meaning zero, and "ek", meaning one, in Hindi, my native language. It refers to the binary building blocks of the software & digital world. The landing-page is still under construction. Always open to feedback and crticism.

HarshitDoshi commented on Show HN: Hop2 URL Shortener Bitly Alternative with Marketing Analytics   hop2.page... · Posted by u/conquera

How are the unique IDs created? And how do you manage collisions with such small IDs? I am not sure but I think the collision rate should somewhere be around "~1 day or 33K IDs needed, in order to have a 1% probability of at least one collision." as per https://zelark.github.io/nano-id-cc/ with an alphabet that goes like this "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" and an ID length of 6 characters.

I have been looking for such a URL shortening solution for a client of mine and hop2 looks perfect with its minimal dashboard and simple usage. I am currently using a manual combination of Google Analytics and Bit.ly but it doesn't really work as I would. I have even tried building a URL shortener for this particular use-case and while I did succeed, adding analytics feels like a big task and an entirely seperate project of its own.

One of three core principles: fast

Technology choices: JavaScript and MongoDB

Seems off.

HarshitDoshi · 2 years ago
Genuinely curious, what stack would you recommend for building such an analytics tool?

That is honestly not how HN works. Your mistakes could be mine and other's mistakes too and we too would have loved to learn from the discussions and updates that this post would have garnered.

Even though if we cast out the mistakes or whatever it was that you had posted out of the picture for a moment, it might just have been a good point of learning and reading for anyone.

Please do not do this going forward.
